Rajpal Yadav to don Khakis in upcoming film 'Gandhi The Conspiracy'

Rajpal Yadav, who was last seen in Judwaa 2, will play a cop in producer Lakshmi R Iyer’s historical drama, Gandhi Hatya: Ek Saazish (Gandhi - The Conspiracy).

The versatile actor who has played several memorable roles, will be portraying the character of Delhi based DSP Jaswant Singh. Rajpal’s character is dramatised around the true event that a two member police team headed by a DSP from Delhi was flown to Bombay with post interrogation confessional statements of Madan Lal, and carried what Delhi police claimed was incriminating data that could have got the would be murderers of Mahatma Gandhi arrested and nip the conspiracy in the bud. 

Rajpal plays a complicated but interesting role of an honest but simple police officer, unable to handle inter-departmental politics between Bombay and Delhi police, which remains an unresolved matter even today. It's a light situational comedy in an otherwise dark thriller and comes in between the two attempts made on Mahatma Gandhi's life in January 1948.

Rajpal confirms, “Though there have been several films made on Mahatma Gandhi, Gandhi The Conspiracy is different as it gives a fresh take on the conspiracy behind the murder of the late political leader. The story is quite intriguing and the script really appealed to me.”

Produced by Lakshmi R Iyer under the banner Nugen Media Productions and directed by Karim Traidia and Pankaj Sehgal, Gandhi: The Conspiracy (Gandhi Hatya: Ek Saazish) is a film based on true events that led to the first political assassination in independent India, scheduled to release this year.

Rajit Kapur to portray Jawaharlal Nehru in Gandhi Hatya: Ek Saazish

Known for his penchant for off-beat characters and essaying them with great aplomb on screen, Rajit Kapur will bring to life an impactful role in his next, Gandhi Hatya: Ek Saazish (Gandhi The Conspiracy), produced by Lakshmi R Iyer, directed by Karim Traidia & Pankaj Sehgal.

The popular veteran actor will portray the late freedom fighter and independent India’s first Prime Minister, Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru in the historical thriller.

Rajit’s look as Chacha Nehru (fondly referred by kids) is one of the major USPs of the movie, and has already given reasons as to why one should look forward to the film.  Once Rajit slips into Nehru’s traditional prince coat, his signature red rose and the trademark Congress Party white cap, the uncanny resemblance leaves the audience wanting more.

Lakshmi R Iyer says, “It was a tumultuous time for India immediately after independence and the country’s partition, that left over 2 million dead and over 14 million Indians displaced. Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru is in a bind, faced with a refugee and an escalating communal problem threatening to lead to a civil war and possibly further break up the country into small principalities. Further, a strong opposition both with and outside the party is challenging his position, make his job even tougher. But by his side is Mahatma Gandhi, the man holding everything together and slowly but surely turning India towards a secular, democratic India.”

Rajit Kapur confirms, “I always wanted to portray a historical character on screen and I’m glad Gandhi Hatya: Ek Saazish fulfilled my dream. It was a great experience and a huge honour to play Nehruji.”
